She preferred tools to sweets": a double-page spread shows Beatrice outside a hardware store with a shiny new tool in hand, while other children look in the window of a candy shop. As Beatrice was born in 1909 in England, it was an uphill battle to become an engineer, but Beatrice had help and support along the way - often from other women. Still, she faced discrimination in school, during her job hunt, and at work, where she truly could fix anything - including Spitfires and Hurricanes during WWII.

Honestly, I thought it was a great book for those with children interested in history. This is also a good book to show the struggles of discrimination against women in the past (even though it still exists today) and how through not giving up, you can prevail. That being said, it could also just be a book about not giving up in general and staying true to who you are despite not exactly fitting in.
4/5 Cute story, great illustrations. Loved it for little history lovers and even not so little ones. ( )
